אָטט אזױ האט אױסגעזעהען אן אוהר-ליטװאק, דער נצי"ב ז"ל
This is how the Lithuanian Rosh Yeshiva looked like in the mid 1800's. Behold the Netziv z"l, father of Reb Chayim Berlin der Moskver Rov and R"Y of Wołożyn from 1854 to 1892 (closure of Volozhiner yeshiva is a current discussion subject at a different, nebech, blog)
Not that today's "Lithuanian" politics is of much interest to me, but there is one interesting trend - the higher one holds the "Lita" banner these days, the further is one removed from the yerusha of real Lithuanian yiddishkeyt. The noisier his "cheilom", the likelier it is that his family came from Suceava ( שאץ) or Rabbat. Not that there is anything wrong with coming from Schotz or Rabbat ...
